What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual-contributor role within a Finance Technology team, focused on architecting, rebuilding, and maintaining complex Anaplan financial planning models — including Polaris-based models, integrated financial planning, and consolidation applications. The position involves setting platform-wide architectural standards, leading large-scale model builds end-to-end, and mentoring other model builders. It suits a deeply experienced Anaplan practitioner with strong FP&A domain knowledge who can operate independently and influence both technical and finance stakeholders.

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is Anaplan-platform-specific — the closest SOC is 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts), as the primary work is designing, architecting, and configuring a financial planning application rather than writing general-purpose software. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the highly specialized, platform-centric nature of the work.
The Anaplan Solution Architect certification is explicitly stated as 'mandatory' in the requirements section and is treated as a hard gate. Master Anaplanner certification is 'highly preferred' and is listed as preferred accordingly.
Anaplan Polaris, Co-Modeler, and Agent Studio appear exclusively under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are listed as preferred.
Oracle ERP/FCCS, Workday, Redshift, and Trino appear only under 'Preferred Qualifications' as upstream system experience; Redshift and Trino are grouped as data-platform alternatives, while Oracle ERP/FCCS and Workday are grouped as ERP/HR alternatives.
The role is hybrid (3 days/week in-office in San Francisco); it is not fully remote.
The seniority assessment is Staff: the JD explicitly titles this 'Staff-level', and the scope — org-wide architectural authority across the Anaplan CoE, setting standards for the entire team, mentoring FTEs and contractors, and operating as the top individual-contributor technical expert — genuinely supports that band, not merely Senior.
Compensation range ($165,000–$206,250/year) is stated as base pay for the San Francisco area only, exclusive of equity, bonus, and benefits.
